Same thing this morning....and that humming/whine noise was still on when I entered the garage. Something is running on the car that hadn't been until yesterday and it won't shut off.

The cars do all sorts of things when we're not looking, I just keep it plugged in but maybe my solar plan is different than yours. Ours is the same rate no matter the time of day.

I had similar vampire drain over the past few days where I lost at least 10 miles in 1 day while the car was plugged in my garage and temperature didn't exceed 90 F. Something that seemed to have helped is turning off the AC and rebooting the car. I did a scroll wheel reset, then powered down the car from the menu and walked away for the night without waking it back up. I did that reset two nights ago and I lost 0 miles last night. I'm going to keep monitoring over the next few days.

Interesting, will have to try that. Did you have whine noise?

How often do you hear it? Is it on most of the time or sometimes?
I went out last night in the garage and it was on, and when I went out into the garage this morning to go to work it was on. I don't know if it was on all night but seems like it might have been.

I installed (2) abstract ocean 'T' puddle lights over the weekend, so I'm wondering if it is causing the electrical system an issue. I didn't see this drain or noise Monday or Tuesday though, just yesterday and today.

I checked just now and didn't hear anything from my car.

I'm going to remove those puddle lights and see if that solves it. It's the only thing i can think of. They must be pulling a stronger current / amperage than it can handle or something. It's the only thing I can think of, I've already turned off the overheat cabin thing. So nothing should be running.
